Colts at Packers 9/24 Game Thread

[tynimiller]

McDuffie is the defender who upgraded their play the most from last week to this week. Dude actually looks like he is comfortable and anticipating

10 points is not enough to go Bend Don’t Break

 

[GBowner]

Total domination by our D. Pitching a shutout at the 50% mark. Plus they are fully rested. Our O totally dominated the Clock

GB 23 minutes
Indi 7 minutes

Wouldn’t say total domination. Colts have had penalties and dropped passes that helped.

 

[GBowner]

open the damn play book. Can’t run every stupid play! Cmon

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Okay, but he was extremely reserved there. I wouldn't have played more then 1 min by just trying to run out the clock when you have to kick it back, but to each their own.

I'd agree with you, if Jordan Love was playing QB or the Packers hadn't dominated the 1st half.

 

[Cornelius Weems]

My goodness are we playing conservative.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Narveson!

Okay, riddle me this. You have a QB that has been here for two weeks…doesn’t even know 100% of the playbook…you’re having your way and minimizing his chances through the air has actually continued to work to your advantage when he is asked…

Until it stops working why change? Adjusting to adjust is never the right thing…adjusting when needed always is.

When your QB has only been on the team for 3 weeks, it isn't a surprise. More importantly, it's working.

 

[OldSchool101]

238 yards rushing.

Don’t stray from a dominant plan

Their D will be exhausted by 4th quarter

For sure, but only merely by rush vs pass…our rush attempts have been insanely eclectic so far in structure and style and formations.

I do predict a Musgrave slip down seam or edge is gonna happen at some point.

But some of their mistakes are self inflicted, we mess up and allow 2 TDs and suddenly we're losing at home. I totally understand wanting to play reserved with a backup, but with only 47 yards passing, it very likely sends a message of playing scared.

 

[OldSchool101]

I was thinking just before Krafts last big play. Use some 12 personnel and let them overpursue and dump it to a TE. We have 2 dangerous TE when in motion.

Yes. But don’t do anything radical that swings momentum. Short passing under 10-15 yards type stuff. Preferable NOT on the sideline where you’ll get a pick 6

RUN VS PASS mix should be 60/40 Run

Calling the same run play over and over isn’t going to work for a whole game. It HAS stopped working. They’ve caught on.

Doesn't take long to throw a pick 6 or an interception on your own side of the 50. Give it time, as Willis gets more comfortable in the offense, he'll pass more.

 

[OldSchool101]

Exchanged FG’s but burned 2/3 of a quarter. Let’s do that again!

I'm not disagreeing wholeheartedly, but now we're moving backwards and having short drives, which is how you lose winnable games at home.

 

[AKCheese]

Well we opened the playbook up

 

[Cornelius Weems]

That was a really good punt!

 

[OldSchool101]

Great punt Whelan 59 yards !
ST stepping up today

I think you’re grossly exaggerating. You’re telling me the exact same formation, motion/motionless, and personnel has been identical numerous times??

 

[Pkrjones]

Great job by Whelan flipping the field. Now D needs to rise up.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

JT killing us!
